Pushkin

Description:

British poet, novelist, and biographer Elaine Feinstein recounts the short life of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin (1799-1837), widely recognized as the father of Russian literature. She finds in him an impudent genius, libertine, wounded son, jealous husband, victim of snobbery and censorship, and above all a writer of inexhaustible vision and vitality.
